Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Tristan Forge raised from the hijack and called when Marc Rousseau jammed for 255,000 from the big blind.

Marc Rousseau: 7♣4♥ All in
Tristan Forge: A♥6♥

Rousseau's big blind special went on to win the pot after connecting on the K♦7♦3♣J♣Q♥ runout.

While that hand played out, Steven Bohn took a nice pot from Belghiti Smail.

Smail had missed his open-ender and flush draws, with Bohn's aces being good for the pot to take to 4,300,000.

Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Samir Sebii raised to 275,000 from the cutoff. Ahmed Blili and Hassan Atigh called from the button and big blind.

Sebii continued for 250,000 on the 8♦7♣3♥ flop, and was called in both spots.

He fired out another 350,000 on the 5♣ turn, and after some thinking time, Blili jammed for 1,720,000. Atigh folded, while Sebii went deep into the tank.

Sebii mulled over his options for several minutes before announcing call, Blili didn't seem best pleased.

Ahmed Blili: 9♠9♥ All in
Samir Sebii: A♣K♠

Blili was surprised to see he was ahead, while there were some gasps from the table when Sebii showed his hand.

The 5♠ river was clean for Blili and he joined the big stacks.
